There is no way for db OSAX.
Must exists Application like Valentina Studio.

AppleScript is major feature of MAC OS for automation of few apps.

I think I see now where JS will loose to AS.

AppleScript has single engine of execution - OS X.

Vstudio and ID have each own engine. So you can execute JS script inside of
VS, and inside of ID. But I don't know how to make them working together...
May be only via export of info into text files.
